LONDON, 4th September.. Great Britain and Germany. The Daily Mail publishes on interview with Prince von Buclow in which the latter repudiated the idea that Germany thinks of competing with England for the mastery of the seas, the rivalry was merely a commer cial one.
The Prince declared that the interests of Germany in Persia and the England railway were purely commercial and that the King and the Kaiser, at their recent meeting, did not discuss any acute political questions, there being no such existing between Great Britain and Germany.
The meeting marked an auspicious stage on the road to eliminating a misunderstand- ing,

THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH. PROPOSKIS WORKS TO THE NEW SESSION. His Excellency the Governor said: The work to be done during the forthenming session is to vote sums of money in accordance with the Financial Minutes Nos. 14 to 64 which I shall explain to the Council when the Colonial Secretary moves them to be referred to the Fistance Committee; and also to pass the six Bills which appear in the Orders of the Day and furthers which will presently be added in the order. Of the six Bills evening continuation classes at Queca's Col. The sum of $2,003 was to provide for it is proposed to read for the first lege. The Council would remember that last time to-day, the first, an Ordinance to year a desire was expressed by one of its amend the Code of Civil Procedure, has been members that a larger proportion of the introduced at the desire of the Chief Justice, bat desire coincided with his own, but as be revenue should be expended on education: His Hoonar originally suggested that in place had pointed out on that occasion the difficulty of an Ordinance amending certain parts of the was to find how larger expenditure could be Cade one should be passed to empower the profitably incurred. Last year an attempt was judges to make such amendments. Rememade to establish a collegiate course at Queen's bering the satisfaction which was given by the present Ordinance of 1901 as producing some finality with reference to this Code the recom- mendation of the Chief Justice did not seem to me one the fall wed, and 1 ascertained that this was also the opinion of the legal profession of the Colony. They considered that it would be beiter that any amendments should be made by direct legislation. f f the amendments con. tained in the Bill now before you, I am scarcely able to judge as they are so debateable, but the Bill will be referred to the aw Committee which will, no doubl, depole their attention to any suggestion they may receive from the barristers and solicitors in the Colony. The second Ilill, to amend the I unacy Ordinance of 1904, is purely to effect a verbal alteration directed by the Secretary of State on the Bille. cently passed. The words "High CourtofJudica ture" were employed for the words "Supr. me ́Court" which ought to have been used. The Bill for amending the Merchant Shipping Or. dinance, 1899. consists of two effective clauses, of which the first is to prevent junks or launches lying of ships without the permission of the master, in the same way as they are now pre- vented from lying off or alongside wharves without the permission of the owner. The se cond provision of the Bill is intended to revise the junk regulations so as to less en the attendance of junk masters, at the Harbour Office, and generally to sim plify procedure with regard to junks get- ting the various permits that they requireing of a Bill entitled an Ordinance to amend cable.

At the same time, it is proposed to do away with the system of securities that at -present prevails, which are believed to give rise to liberalities which have a prejudical effect on the junk masters. When the Bill comes to be read a second time, the Harbour Master will ne doubt give a full explanation of its provisions.
than was necessary for ordinary clerical work, not care to keep their boys longer at school
The scheme now proposed got over that diffi culty by having the classes in the evening. "The scheme." His Excellency added, "bas been favourably it has been supported in the local press. If it proves a success I shall be prepared to make another recommendation. 1 may mention that the secretary of State in reply to my despatch asking his sanction ta put it in operation stated that he cordially ap proved of the scheme and that he should be d if it proved a success. I shall be very disappointed if it fails to prove is success." The Governor, continuing, remarked that
5.0.0 was required to complete the resump tion of part 4 of the railway. A vote was asked in extension of the driginal yote on which this work was carried out by the Director of Iublic Works.. Eventually, the expenditure would be transferred to the railway account. The other itenis were explained in the votes themselves.
